Social media users have slammed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a "total weasel" after he pinned the blame solely on the outgoing Speaker of the House of Commons over the honouring of a Nazi veteran in parliament.
House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota resigned on Tuesday for inviting 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address last week.
Mr Rota had praised 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka as a "Ukrainian hero" while recognising a number of Ukrainian-Canadians during a parliamentary meeting on Friday.
Mr Rota apologised for the incident after a Jewish human rights group found Hunka had served as a member of the Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division or the SS 14th Waffen Division.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday extended "Parliament's unreserved apologies" for the "deeply embarrassing" incident.
